Role ambiguity, role conflict, and satisfaction: Moderating effects of individual differences

Abstract

Conducted a study with 90 military and civil service personnel to investigate the moderating effects of need for achievement and need for independence on relationships between role ambiguity, role conflict, and job satisfaction. Results indicate that need for achievement moderated relationships between intersender role conflict and satisfaction and between task ambiguity and satisfaction, while need for independence moderated the relationship between intersender conflict and satisfaction.
